Bali United Sign Dutch Striker Jort van der Sande to Boost Firepower for New Season

Bali United have officially strengthened their attacking options by signing Dutch striker Jort van der Sande ahead of the 2026/27 Super League season. The experienced forward arrives as one of the club's key foreign additions and is expected to lead the frontline as Bali United aims to compete at the highest level.

The 30-year-old previously shared a dressing room with Indonesia captain Jay Idzes during their time at FC Eindhoven. Club management believes his arrival matches the coaching staff's requirements and expects his experience, goal-scoring ability, and overall quality to make an immediate impact on the team's attacking performance.

Van der Sande joins Bali United after helping SC Cambuur secure promotion to the top division of Dutch football last season. His successful campaign further strengthened his reputation as a reliable striker capable of delivering consistent performances in competitive environments.

Throughout his career, the 183-centimeter forward has built an impressive résumé in European football. After developing through FC Den Bosch's academy, he went on to represent clubs including NAC Breda, ADO Den Haag, and Dundee United before deciding to continue his career in Indonesia.

Although born in the Netherlands, Van der Sande represents Bonaire at the international level. Bali United hopes his tactical understanding, versatility, and extensive playing experience will significantly improve the club's attacking strength as the team targets a strong challenge for the 2026/27 Super League title.
